Summary
Matt crosses the rest of the room in a heartbeat, wrapping his arms around his friend and squeezing tight as though to test his reality against the creeping fear that his mental state has deteriorated further than he realized and he has somehow hallucinated this whole situation.
“Wait, but— how are you here? You should be dead.”
“Yikes, buddy. Sure making me feel welcome over here,” Foggy says, pulling an exaggerated face.
Matt closes his eyes and shakes his head, shame blooming hot in his stomach. But it is followed closely by a gnawing sense of uneasiness that something about this situation just isn’t right. “Hey, come on. I mean, I’m thrilled to see you, but I was at your funeral, Fog. I was there when they buried you.”
“Well, I guess it didn’t take,” Foggy says with a shrug that mocks the gravity of the situation. “You know a thing or two about that, don’t you?”
—
Or, Foggy has seemingly returned from the dead, and Matt has to figure out how and why and what the implications are, but nothing is as he expected. Can he trust the demon that has taken over his friend's body to help him get out of an impossible choice? Written for the 2025 Daredevil/Defenders Exchange for StripedScribe.
